Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi all, Forward from a friend: Hi, friends, I wanted to let you all know about a book I am reading by Dr. Michael Greger called Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching. Now the U.S. Humane Society has made a 4 minute video summary of some of the main points of the book. This is scary information, yet it is based in current science - this is not bogus! Just this month thousands of chickens had to be slaughtered in England due to bird flu spreading there. Right now the only way for humans to get it is to catch it from an infected bird, which limits the spread as most people are not around chickens and they are keeping infected ones out of the food chain. Authorities are concerned, however, that the virus will mutate to become able to be spread from human to human and that's when the pandemic could occur. I urge you to watch the video and then read the book (the entire book is available free online as well as in bookstores and from Amazon). For the video go to For the book go to http://birdflubook.org/g.php?id=6 Thanks for informing yourself. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
